Le résumé fourni par la source

This paper is co-authored by Damià Barceló, who is a co-Editor-in-Chief of Science of the Total Environment. Science of the Total Environment would like to clarify through this Erratum that it is the policy of the journal and Elsevier that editors must not be involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves; that any such submission must be subject to the journal's usual procedures; peer review must be handled independently of the relevant author/editor and their research groups; and there should be a clear statement to this effect on any such paper that is published. An audit has been conducted which shows that this paper, submitted by Damia Barcelo and colleagues was handled appropriately and was subject to several rounds of independent peer review which were supervised by another of the journal's Editors, Adrian Covaci. Unfortunately, an administrative oversight in the publishing process meant that the correct handling editor's name was not published for this article and that a statement explaining that the paper had been handled independently was not published as a footnote to the article. The publisher would like to apologise for this oversight and for any inconvenience caused.
